//CHAPTER 14.4

Blue

Denial grips the very soul,

As they try to regain control.

But pain seeps into the bones,

Aching in silence, all alone.

.....................................

Blue growled in anger as he stomped into his castle room.

With a loud huff, he sat down on the far side, underneath the overhang in the corner. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now. Things were too complicated for him.

Blue tried not to think about what Orange had told him. He couldn't.

He couldn't dwell on it. Orange was lying. It wasn't true.

Blue brought his knees up towards his face. He tried to think about something, anything else, but his thoughts always came back to their conversation earlier.

Blue knew it wasn't Orange's fault if he wasn't thinking clearly.

So why did Blue want to...hurt him?

He groaned to himself. Blue sat there, still trying to distract himself, but nothing came to mind. He was just sitting there restlessly, trying not to break down.

It was almost confusing, trying not to think. It was usually so easy for him to just…push things to the side and occupy himself by helping out the others when they felt upset.

But this time, it was different for some reason.

Blue was, for once, so caught up in his thoughts, that he didn't notice the other figure enter the room, slowly approaching his place underneath the castle.

He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, and Blue snapped his head around, jumping in his own skin.

As Blue's eyes adjusted to the bright light just behind him, he almost expected to see a stranger, or some mysterious figure, but it wasn't.

It was Green. He was wearing his new glasses, looking down at Blue, slight concern on his face.

Blue wasn't used to Green walking over to him on his own. Usually, Blue would have to call or guide him over, since he was blind.

"Blue? Are you..okay?" Green asked, gripping Blue's arm a little bit tighter. Blue sighed, looking down at the ground before meeting Green's eyes again.

"Hi Green. Yeah. I'm...fine." Blue said slowly, realizing that he did not sound that way, even to himself.

He winced as Green remained silent for a few moments. Blue was about to apologize for not telling Green where he had gone, but Green sat down beside him with a soft grunt.

The two sat there for a few moments not saying anything. Blue didn't really know what he was supposed to say.

Fortunately for him, Green spoke first. "Are you worried about Orange? Yellow told me that you had to take him to Red for some emergency medical care." He said, glancing over at Blue briefly.

Blue nodded slowly, letting his gaze fall back to the ground absentmindedly.

"Orange said some...things." He said, not sure whether to elaborate further.
